This is why of course so many textbooks are so good at explaining the field line representation of vector fields, and as appropriate, how that relates to equipotential surfaces — because it makes no conceptual or mathematical sense to Ben. Oh and there’s also all that talk about field fluxes and how that’s represented in field line diagrams, and theorems about the surface integrals of these field fluxes, a couple of which for example are recognizable as Maxwell electrodynamics laws.
